eLearning Accessibility Summit 2017 - May 18, 2017

Jean Marrapodi

Senior eLearning Designer Illumina Interactive

One of the frequently overlooked challenges that can affect
a workforce is that of workers whose literacy skills are substantially lower
than average. Traditional approaches for training and eLearning struggle to
connect with low-literacy adults because foundational learning and cognitive
areas are generally underdeveloped.

In this session, you will explore the specific challenges
low-literacy adults encounter in their work and how you can accommodate these
challenges in your learning programs. You will discover how to advocate for low-literacy
adults’ needs in your strategy and how to adapt your current processes to
accommodate these learners.
